stödjs

Stödjs is a Swedish word that translates to "is supported" or "are supported" in English. It is the passive form of the verb "stödja," which means "to support." This grammatical construction indicates that the subject of the sentence is receiving support, rather than actively giving it.

In Swedish grammar, the passive voice is often formed by adding the suffix "-s" to the infinitive of the verb. Thus, "stödja" becomes "stödjs" when used in the passive. This form can be used in various contexts to describe situations where something or someone is being aided, backed, or upheld.

For example, a sentence like "Projektet stödjs av staten" translates to "The project is supported by the state." Here, "projektet" (the project) is the subject and it is receiving support. Similarly, "Idrottare stödjs av sponsorer" means "Athletes are supported by sponsors," indicating that the athletes are the recipients of the sponsorship.

The word "stödjs" can refer to various forms of support, including financial, emotional, or practical assistance. The specific nature of the support is usually clarified by the context of the sentence or the prepositional phrase that follows. It is a common and versatile verb form in the Swedish language.
